Technical Abstract

Disclosed in the implementations of the present disclosure are a mapping method, an encoder, a decoder, and a computer storage medium. The method may include: determining an intra prediction mode used at the time of encoding or decoding a current block; mapping, if the intra prediction mode is a MIP mode, the MIP mode to a first non-MIP mode; and mapping, if the intra prediction mode is a non-MIP mode, the non-MIP mode to a second MIP mode.

Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A method for decoding a picture, applied to a decoder, wherein the method comprises: determining an intra prediction mode indication for a current block; when the current block is of a non-Matrix-based Intra Prediction (MIP) mode, a neighboring block of the current block is of MIP mode, the MIP mode of the neighboring block is mapped to a PLANAR mode, and the PLANAR mode is used to derive a Most Probable Modes List (MPM) of the current block of the non-MIP mode, wherein the derivation includes listing the PLANAR mode as a first mode in the MPM.

2

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the neighboring block comprises at least one of a left neighboring block or an above neighboring block.

3

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein when the current block is of the non-MIP mode, the non-MIP mode is determined as an intra prediction mode for a color component of the current block.

4

4. The method according to claim 3, wherein the non-MIP mode is mapped to a MIP mode, wherein the MIP mode is one of MIP modes preset before decoding the current block.

5

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein determining the intra prediction mode indication for the current block comprises: decoding prediction mode information signalled in a bitstream, wherein the prediction mode information indicates the intra prediction mode for the current block.

6

6. A decoder, comprises a processor and a storage medium storing instructions executable by the processor, the storage medium relying on the processor to execute an operation through a communication bus, and when the instructions are executed by the processor, the processor is configured to: determine an intra prediction mode indication for a current block; when the current block is of a non-Matrix-based Intra Prediction (MIP) mode, a neighboring block of the current block is of MIP mode, the MIP mode of the neighboring block is mapped to a PLANAR mode, and the PLANAR mode is used to derive a Most Probable Modes List (MPM) of the current block of the non-MIP mode, wherein the derivation includes listing the PLANAR mode as a first mode in the MPM.

7

7. The decoder according to claim 6, wherein the neighboring block comprises at least one of a left neighboring block or an above neighboring block.

8

8. The decoder according to claim 6, wherein when the current block is of the non-MIP mode, the non-MIP mode is determined as an intra prediction mode for a color component of the current block.

9

9.

10

10. The method according to claim 9, wherein the neighboring block comprises at least one of a left neighboring block or an above neighboring block.

11

11. The method according to claim 9, wherein when the current block is of the non-MIP mode, the non-MIP mode is determined as an intra prediction mode for a color component of the current block.

12

12. The method according to claim 11, wherein the non-MIP mode is mapped to a MIP mode, wherein the MIP mode is one of MIP modes preset before encoding the current block.

13

13. The method according to claim 9, comprising: writing prediction mode information into a bitstream, wherein the prediction mode information indicates the intra prediction mode for the current block.

14

14. An encoder, comprises a processor and a storage medium storing instructions executable by the processor, the storage medium relying on the processor to execute an operation through a communication bus, and when the instructions are executed by the processor, the processor is configured to: determine an intra prediction mode for a current block; when the current block is of a non-Matrix-based Intra Prediction (MIP) mode, a neighboring block of the current block is of MIP mode, the MIP mode of the neighboring block is mapped to a PLANAR mode, and the PLANAR mode is used to derive a Most Probable Modes List (MPM) of the current block of the non-MIP mode, wherein the derivation includes listing the PLANAR mode as a first mode in the MPM.
